Before the Evolution of Combat this weapon used to have a special attack called Restorative Shot. It would heal the user by twice the amount of the damage dealt and consumed 55% of the special attack bar.

This bow increases the chance of bonus damage caused by Saradomin Arrows, from 10% to 20%.

There used to be a glitch in which the G.E shows that the Saradomin bow can fire arrows up to iron, while the knowledge base stated it can fire arrows up to dragon. Both are incorrect; it has been confirmed in the recent update FAQ that it can fire arrows up to rune. It also fires Saradomin arrows, Guthix arrows, and Zamorak arrows.
